Subject: AAADD


I have recently been diagnosed with AAADD - Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder

This is how it  goes...

I decide to clean the car, start to the garage and notice the  mail on the table. OK, I'm going to work on the car...

BUT  FIRST I'm going to go through the mail. Lay car keys down on desk. After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash can is  full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk....

BUT FIRST I'll  take the trash out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address  a few bills.... Yes, Now where
is the checkbook? Oops..  there's only one check left. Where did I put the extra checks? Oh, there is my empty plastic cup from last night on my desk. I'm  going to look for those checks...

BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back  in the kitchen. I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice  the flowers need a drink of water, I put the cup on the counter and there's  my extra pair of glasses on the kitchen counter. What are they doing here? I'll just put them away...

BUT FIRST need to water  those plants.I head for the door and... Aaaagh! someone left the TV  remote on the wrong spot. Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the  plants... BUT FIRST I
need to find those checks.


END OF  DAY: car is not cleaned, bills still unpaid, cup still in the  sink, checkbook still has only one check left, lost my car keys,...And, when  I try to figure out how come nothing got done
today, I'm baffled  because... I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY! I realize this condition  is serious... I'd get help...
BUT FIRST...I think I'll  check my e-mail.
